[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent Cartwright has sworn never to go back to Dry Gulch. The memory of a devastating loss, perhaps the death of a loved one during one of the town's many violent outbreaks, haunts her.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent's unwavering determination, born from a deep-seated need to protect those she cares about, is a hidden strength.

She dreams of a day when she can leave the railroad behind and create a better life for them both.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent doubts that Josephine Blackwood cares about anyone but herself. She remembers a time when a fellow worker was injured on the job, a severe burn from a boiler explosion. Blackwood, more concerned with the delay it caused to the schedule, offered minimal compensation and pressured the man back to work before he was fully healed. This incident solidified Millicent's belief that Blackwood sees workers as expendable cogs in her machine, not human beings deserving of compassion.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent views the labor movement with a mix of hope and skepticism. She admires Lucinda Mayfield's fiery passion and her willingness to stand up for workers' rights, but she also worries about the potential for violence and unrest. Millicent has seen firsthand the brutality that can erupt when tensions boil over, and she fears that radical action will only make things worse.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent is unsure about Lucinda Mayfield's true motives.

Many find themselves trapped in a cycle of debt, unable to save money or leave their jobs. The low wages mean that workers can barely afford basic necessities, let alone support their families back home.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Chinese and Irish workers, in particular, face severe discrimination and are often assigned the most dangerous and undesirable tasks.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Politicians, they were puppets dancing on Josephine Blackwood's strings. she greased their palms with gold and silver, and in return, they passed laws that paved the way for her dominion. The law was a weapon, just as sharp as any pistol.

The company's reluctance to invest in proper equipment puts an additional physical strain on the workers.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Josephine Blackwood's men, they are wolves, teeth bared and eyes gleaming with the thrill of the hunt. They enforce her will, their loyalty bought and paid for with blood money. Towns burned, lives snuffed out, all in the name of progress.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Yes, Silas Redburn has known hunger. As a child during a particularly harsh winter, his family struggled to put food on the table.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] The workers' camp is a breeding ground for disease and vermin. Tents are overcrowded, with men sleeping shoulder to shoulder on dirt floors. The lack of proper sanitation facilities leads to outbreaks of dysentery, cholera, and other infectious diseases.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] The company store is a spider's web, ensnaring men in a cycle of debt. The prices are high, the wages low, and the escape elusive.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] The foreman cracks his whip, his words sharp as the lash. Obedience is demanded, dissent punished with a swift and brutal hand.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] What Silas Redburn remembers about Susannah Blackburn is that she's a whirlwind of energy, always on the move and talking a mile a minute.

The work itself is demanding, but it provides a sense of purpose and structure that she craves. The pay is decent, which allows her to support herself and indulge in her vices, but it's the feeling of control and the adrenaline rush of managing a bustling station that truly motivates her.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Susannah believes Josephine Blackwood sees her employees as pawns in her grand scheme, expendable tools to be used and discarded as needed. This belief stems from a specific incident where she witnessed Josephine coldly dismiss a worker who was injured on the job, prioritizing the railway's schedule over the man's well-being. The callous indifference in Josephine's eyes left a lasting impression on Susannah, reinforcing her conviction that Blackwood's loyalty lies solely with her own ambition.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Susannah views the labor movement with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Josephine Blackwood built an empire, the likes of which this country had never seen. Every mile of track, every spike driven into the earth, was a testament to her will. The weak were trampled underfoot, their bones swallowed by the dust of progress.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Greed, they call it. But it was ambition, a hunger that couldn't be sated. Josephine Blackwood took what was theirs, by hook or by crook. The smaller railroads, the stubborn townsfolk who stood in her way, they were obstacles to be removed, nothing more.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Susannah's unwavering belief in her own righteousness makes her strong, fueling her determination to see justice done, even if her methods are questionable. However, she mistakes her impulsiveness for courage, often acting without thinking through the consequences, which leads to unnecessary complications and puts herself and others at risk.
